Skyfire is really good. Really, really good. It's now my default mobile browser. I can see and listen to video on the BBC and the Guardian. The mobile Internet suddenly becomes something rather more than WAP-based links that only ever reminded one of the advent of teletext at the end of the last century. I now have TV on my mobile - what's more, I want to watch it.
No media players. No problems with the BBC identifying my compression IP as extra-British and thus not deserving of streaming video. These people must have set up their server parks on British soil. Either that, or the BBC are being fooled in an almighty way.
This is really good stuff, really lovely software engineering.
Try it out. You really must. That is, if you have a Symbian phone (Nokia and possibly some of its cousins) or a Windows mobile phone.
As I said yesterday, even iPlayer sort of works.
I've fallen in love with my technological toys, even as politics and its shenanigans simply block my writerly desires.
Even as stories like this make me gulp in shame.
